What role does music play in your day-to-day life as a creative?

Music plays throughout the whole day. I start with some soul/jazz in my morning commute. At work, I switch between indie, rap, and r&b. At home, we add pop and Turkish music to the list. Music makes the gym sessions suck a bit less. It’s there when I’m feeling happy or sad. Simply said, my body and mind functions much better with music.

I like to spend a lot of money into equipment as well. At home, I have some nice speakers. And at work I switch between the Sony MDR-1000x and the Sennheiser Momentums.

I’m lucky to be able to shape a music app and I just launched a side-project that’s music related.

So yeah, it’s everywhere!

This playlist consists of songs that make me feel good and have a nice vibe. I don’t pay attention to lyrics, that’s why you will hear some German, French and Icelandic songs.
